<p>Okay, well i bought some books for self-study and a lot of people recommended smartypants for APES but i noticed it was published in 2006. Is the information still relevant or should i buy PR instead?</p>
<p>Keep in mind I'm not using a textbook just strictly review books.</p>
<p>Also i would like some opinions on my book selection</p>
<p>US gov: REA crash course+ PR
comparative gov: Ethel woods 4th edition study book
psych: Barron's with CD
APES: Contemplating the above</p>
<p>^Good choices!</p>
<p>The infro in that thread here is probably still valid. I jsut recommend the same brand name, but just get the latest version. :)</p>
<p>I would have gone with AMSCO with Crash Course instead of PR, but I heard PR is fine.</p>
<p>Personally, I think AMSCO is A LOT better than PR, especially if you’re self-studying. PR’s review just seems too brief. Also, for AP Euro, I highly recommend Modern European History by Birdsall Viault. It’s comparable to AMSCO in length/format and was the main reason I got a 5.</p>
<p>Isnt AMSCO APUSH?
I’m self-studying gov</p>
<p>That’s correct ^ AMSCO is US History</p>
<p>Oops, my mistake. I saw “Crash Course” and immediately thought you were talking about APUSH. Sorry.</p>
